| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. I have had Acoustats since 1980. I used solid state for many years but a couple of years ago tried them with a friend's Dynaco mkiv tube amps. The transparency was like I had never heard before. Even with the 60 watt amp, I preferred it over any o... | |
| question about Acoustat transformers IMOWhatever transformers you have they should be modded.1. Replace the treble cut rheostat with high voltage resistors.2. Replace the 3 old caps attached to the rheostat with a modern one. ( I used a beer can sized Solen, but there are other choic... | |
| Azimuth question The better way to go is the Feikert Adjust program. I have used the Fozgometer and I now own the Feikert. Besides being much more reliable it is much more accurate. Add to that it can be used to check speed and frequency response, for just a few d... | |
| Anyone used a USB microscope to align cartridge? The sub microscope is great for looking at and measuring vita (SRA). The trick is to put the stylus down (gently) onto a CD that is well lighted. You can then use the software to determine the lead and trailing edges of the stylus and using the ri... | |

| A Soundsmith Denon dl103 retip question I own a wood bodied 103. The additional mass and the lack of plastic body resonance (not to mention the threaded screw mounts) make the 103 a joy, but be aware that a heavy arm is a must for good tracking.I also own a SoundSmith 103 Gold. This too... | |

| Moving-Coil Step-Up Transformer SUT I am using a Ypsilon MC-16. It has wonderful transparency and is very quiet. The shielding is better than any SUT I have seen. Like all things Ypsilon;stupid expensive.e | |
